There is some truth to healthcare coverage, but 26 and under are covered by their parents. They’re the hard to fill junior roles anyway.

Exploit foreign labour to pick crops, exploit foreign labour to do manufacturing, exploit foreign labour to do tech. At the end of the day, what is left? I keep thinking of that Henry Ford anecdote about factory workers and buying cars.
When I worked as a recruiter, I’d make candidates write two paragraphs of prose to summarize what they could do. Much easier to read than picking through a CV looking for clues.

Night trains are not like normal trains. They carry far fewer passengers per car. That doesn't make them as bad as flying on pure CO2 emissions, but night trains are not as efficient as "trains" generally. They are more comparable to luxury busses. But ... if the other option is an electric car, or even an electric aircraft, then even an electric night trains will likely no longer win on CO2 emissions.

| A lot of this was through networking to be fair

On that note, being in a larger city and doing in-person networking is a much different game than trying to apply online from afar. Plus, I've heard a lot about how useless online applications have become due to AI, ghost jobs, bad HR practices, etc. It makes me wonder if returning to the "come in to the office and drop off an application" days would be better for everyone.

I think you're commenting out of ignorance. FIDE's dress code does accepts "national costumes", on par with suits and Bermuda shorts.

It’s astounding that we, as an industry, are so averse to licensing developers. It solves the resume spam problem and the repetitive LeetCode round(s) that every company now wants. We also don’t have to settle for the licensing process other industries have—ours can be more inclusive of alternative development backgrounds, while still providing a meaningful quality filter.
I would travel more around the USA if we had a decedent high-speed rail system. Spent too much time flying, red-eyes, and driving for work, 7-12+ hours one way, and hate those modes of transportation. They may get you from point A to B but your time is wasted along with the enjoyment of the trip.

Unfortunately the Oil industry won over the politicians in the USA with donations, legal bribes, and they prevent the building of quality train travel. Bet that if majority of the USA left and spent time in countries with quality rail system, they attitudes would change dramatically and push for better. They would experience how much time they waste in traffic and queuing for boarding and de-bordering.

There's no doubt that the "economically disadvantaged to military pipeline" is as old as history itself, but...

No.

No for a lot of reasons.

There's no shortage of poor people in this country even when employment is high.

I mean, the max enlistment age in the US Army is theoretically 35 years old, but realistically they are not looking for anybody much past 25 from anything I have ever seen. Even from a machiavellian standpoint leaving a whole bunch of unemployed people from 18 to 75 just so you can scoop up the youngest 10% of them or whatever just makes no sense.

Lastly, the next war between major powers is probably not going to involve massive numbers of infantry troops from America. We fight proxy wars (Ukraine, etc) generally and if we fight another peer/near-peer country directly it's going to be missiles and drones and what-have-you, not 10 million American infantrymen marching through China.
Nice wordplay! (see Prisoner's dilemma)
The overwhelming majority are well paid volunteers. The topic of conscription is highly political in Russia. Paying them is a major cost of the war and limitation on manpower. The pro war faction has been pushing for conscription to enable a surge, but meaningful conscription has not occurred.
In my nearly 20 year career, I have never gotten a job by applying directly. The few times I’ve tried it was shockingly bad. I feel for anyone where that’s the only option they have.

My advice is to invest heavily in your professional network and when you have one, treat it like the special garden that it is. This takes years to cultivate. I also see people try to come at it from a very transactional unauthentic angle which will always fail. The right way to approach it is honestly quite simple: make friends. Be nice. Help people. Mentor. Etc. Don’t expect anything from it. People remember that stuff. Opportunities find you.
There are “modern” cars (~5-10 years old) that fit most of the modern safety standards and are effectively not transmitting things due to 3G no longer being much of a thing, coupled with automakers being glacially slow at replacing certain electronic components.
(smallish) artists complain about it because they also run a loss when they try and tour. It’s quite difficult to make any money in this industry, and that’s fundamentally the source of discontent. It feels absurd to make a product then get paid nothing for making that product when lots of people use it.
Communities based on identity are more important for long-term survival, yes. Just 200 years ago the politics and ideologies of most nations were completely alien to what they are today. Only their people remain.

A country based on "ideas" or "values" is also tyrannical - if people born there espouse different values, do they lose citizenship and get exiled, replaced by a foreigner that mouths the right platitudes?

The only valid form of DEI is socio-economic - colour, gender and ethnicity blind.

If someone grew up poor in a bad area (whether projects in NY or a trailer park in Appalachia) and got sent to a shit school, they should get extra credit for that.
Though often conflated, there is a difference between introversion (preference towards less external stimuli) and shyness (fear of social judgement). You may be a shy extrovert.

Also I can totally relate to the hyper fixation on "what does this person think if me right now with everything I say?" I wish I had a simple super effective answer but I think it just takes small improvements over time. In general, if you're willing to show a reasonable level of mutual interest in the other person, they will reciprocate and with practice this can be trusted such that the anxiety reduces. Also accept that some people will just not be interested or necessarily like you and that's ok, but hard at first for sure, especially if you've faced social rejection earlier in life.

> If at the end of the day, large swathes of the population are unhappy or upset at a given technology, that in and of itself should be a sign that something is wrong.

Productivity and efficiency gains at the short term expense of inefficient jobs have always made people upset, so taking only that into consideration is wrong.

> The Swing Riots were a widespread uprising in 1830 by agricultural workers in England against the mechanization of agriculture. The riots were a protest against the introduction of threshing machines, which had been increasing since the end of the 18th century. The threshing process was labor-intensive, and before the machines were introduced, it employed about 25% of all agricultural workers. The introduction of the machines gradually unemployed a large number of agricultural workers

Hiring agents have been spamming potential job seekers for years with garbage and then came up with the abomination known as ATS, which makes it very difficult to argue that job seekers should not use automation.

Either the market needs to come up with a good solution that encourages good behavior from both sides or the governments can step in and start regulating.
I prefer the later version with Karl Urban - and to me it was expressive too.

Here’s a fun interview that includes a related question:

> Did having the helmet affect your acting at all? How did you maneuver around wearing that for the entire movie, and could you see through it?

> Oh yea [I could see through it], it took a bit to figure it out, it really did, and it was a challenge, you know, the challenge was how to communicate with an audience. And not only because my eyes weren’t visible, but because of the fact that the character of Dredd operates within a very narrow bandwidth, he is a man who has been trained to keep his emotions in check, so consequently it was very important for me to identify how I could humanize the character as much as possible. The sense of humor became very important, that dry, laconic sense of humor, and finding out where’s this character’s compassion? Where does his empathy lie?

One standardized metric used as a covenant is the debt service coverage ratio, especially for commercial real estate. The lender gets to monitor business performance in almost real time, and if it goes below what the borrower agreed to, they can force a renegotiation of terms or call the loan.

I have no clue in general. When I go through applications, I go through all the material and anything else I can find about the candidate, and cover letters are sometimes helpful. Put yourself in my shoes:

- If the cover letter is a rehash of your resume, it's a waste of your time and mine. It certainly isn't helpful to your application, and if I have too many well-qualified applicants then it might be harmful.

- Poorly written cover letters suggest that the applicant doesn't care much about this specific opportunity, it's some sort of AI/oversees/... scam, or the applicant can't write well. They're very helpful for me when there are already other data points suggesting identity theft or similar automation (nail-in-the-coffin material). Otherwise, they're not necessarily a negative, but it's rarely advantageous to advertise a lack of some skill, and it does disqualify applicants from some roles.

- Some cover letters are especially compelling. Suppose your resume just has you as a pizza delivery driver, but your cover letter goes over the app you wrote and the data science behind it to optimize your hourly earnings. Suppose your work history is in web tech, but you're actually better at low-level optimizations and are applying here because you think that skill set is a good fit. I prefer varied backgrounds anyway, so you'll probably get some form of screening interview unless there's enough other evidence that you aren't qualified (e.g., junior experience for a senior role) -- I try to bias toward giving everyone a chance while not wasting too much of anyone's time, and I'm fine having a busier calendar to make that happen.

None of that helps you get the job though; it helps you get an interview. If your experience is that you're well qualified and usually land the job once you get into an interview, and if your cover letter has some information your resume lacks, you should definitely add one. If you normally struggle through the interview process, it'd be surprising for you to have an honest cover letter which would help you land the job in the first place, so I probably wouldn't bother.
> Losing connection for extended periods of time can get in the way of "timely" key updates but they won't cause the encryption to fail.

To be fair, if the car is offline while a newly installed app logs in, then the app won’t be able to locate the car until the car checks in. Which is not actually the end of the world, and there are ways to mitigate this. (See iMessage and Keybase for a couple of different approaches to this. See Signal for a shockingly poor group of bizarrely mutually incompatible solutions that barely work. I think that Matrix tries, too. MLS should be able to handle it, and piggybacking off an existing standard like MLS might be entirely reasonable albeit dramatically more complex than the simple solution I outlined.)
Right? Trans people being comfortable being open in public. Obama's "open borders" while deporting record numbers of immigrants (https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-polit...). Uncomfortable protests in support of Palestine. What a shit-show. I can't believe we made it out alive.
I wonder if the homogeneity has come from gentrification and high property prices. NYC might have been a crime-ridden dump in the 60s, but it was cheap enough that Andy Warhol could afford to rent a massive studio. And a modern day Leonard Cohen wouldn't be welcome in the Chelsea Hotel.

Now you have to be a lawyer or work in finance to hope to even get a modest sized apartment in NYC.
If one is not currently employed as an engineer?

Frankly, seriously consider a career change. The ladder has been pulled up for entry-level positions due to AI, interest-rates, etc. This will come back and bite us as an industry, but it’ll be 10 years from now and most people can’t wait that long.

I can’t speak for everyone, but 3000+ applicants for a single opening is typical at my org. The odds of any given individual getting in are essentially zero. Referrals get priority over everyone else, even candidates that are on-paper better qualified.

It sucks for everyone involved, especially for job hunters. But from the hiring side, truthfully, there’s no end in sight.
Wow, that's some voyage. How was it?

You don't need a full-blown IDE to write HTML. Maybe for Python. But for languages like Java, you're leaving a lot of productivity and error prevention on the table.
Management’s job is to manage. Shareholders and the board can attempt to replace them if confidence is lost. I am confident in this management, as someone with economic exposure to their decisions. If you don’t have exposure, the opinion is academic. Feel free to short the stock, or obtain enough stock as an activist to make change (if so inclined).

DEI practices are not unlawful unless discriminatory actions are taken. I do not support unlawful hiring or labor practices, unequivocally. I have reported such actions to regulators when I’ve observed them. If made aware of such practices, I would file a civil suit with standing, if owning the security in scope.
Not all costs are (directly) money. Looking for a new job costs time, and stress, and possibly the costs of relocating, which can include being farther away from friends and community you currently have.
I would like to submit that making the open source version compatible with the closed source API might be an asset.

By being compatible, users get all the benefits of the existing corpus of help on the internet. And being compatible make the cost to entry lower. If somebody wants to make a very small modification of the MAC layer, they can do it as with the closed source and just go behind the curtain and file a little the thing they want to hack, without the cognitive load of learning a new API.
I say that as a straight white boy, BTW. :-)
There are hardly any connecting trains between both countries.

The connection to Vigo happens a few times a day, with regional trains, and to Madrid it is at most twice a day, if it runs.

Then the regular CP strikes, delays and canceled trains.

It isn't by chance that most families have cars, if we rely on trains and bus alone, better have enough time for travelling by land.
I believe there is some royalty-related reason why Spotify prefers playlists over albums.
Shareholder note: I just received my ProxyVote form which lists CostCo's recommendation that I vote against this shareholder proposal (to "study the effects of removing DEI programs"); i.e., I do believe us shareholders get to vote for/against this — NOT CostCo getting to downright "decide" (it's up for vote, which is still being tallied).
About two years ago, I was able to dive into the Ada reference manual formatter which has initial commit of March 2000 and is about 45k lines of code, and add MDX output pretty easily.

Other languages focus on terseness and expressiveness. Ada expresses a bunch of constraints directly and forces you to do things in organized ways (e.g. use namespaces appropriately).

I've read in the interview below that all attempts to implement IBM's copper interconnects failed, except for TSMC.

At least for this particular technology, IBM did not deliver everything needed to do this.

"So, when we went to .13u, .13u the people began to change from aluminum to copper. And IBM was the leader for the copper metal. They had the longest history of developing copper technology. They worked for more than ten years on copper. TSMC didn't have any experience in copper at all. So, when we decided we need to adopt copper, okay. So, the copper is one story and low-k material is another one. IBM decided kind of low-k material is a spin-on material called SILK. IBM had a Research Consortium that IBM-- Samsung joined them, I think, ST Micro joined them. Several companies joined the Consortium.

"And UMC joined them. But we didn't join them. They all used that spin-on low-K material. But we decided to use CVD - instead of flourine-doped it's a carbon-doped made by Applied Materials. They're called Black Diamond. So, we choose Black Diamond. The reason we chose Black Diamond was very simple, because I suffer at .18 with a spin-on. I wouldn't touch spin-on again. <laughter> But they didn't go through that. So, we were very, very lucky. TSMC became the first company in the world which was able to ship a manufacturing wafers with the copper and low-k, because IBM failed... Later on they found reliability the problem."

Well, people that want to half-watch TV deserve stuff made for them too.

Netflix has shows made for really watching too. I don't know if they are rebellious acts from their makers, brought without an option, or actual choices, but Netflix does have them.

My impression is that Netflix cornered themselves into the same AAA race to death that the major movie studios are in. Everything is too expensive, so they can't accept risks, so nothing is really good (nor really bad). Micromanaging is just one more visible consequence of that, between lots and lots that stay hidden but are as important to the final result.
You are looking at the wrong end of the stick. Things are not intrinsically meaningful, we are the ones giving and defining meaning. And a subset of meanings can be shared with your culture. Only that, but all of that.

So, take your pick, or follow what others think.
Science was always just fine thank you. The problematic part is extremists misrepresenting it as a cudgel with which to silence dissent. Let’s not pretend there aren’t extremists in both tribes doing this.

Really companies should be banned from importing more people[1] if they laid off a certain number in the last year. That way the job market would be more likely to self correct.

[1] I think they should still be allowed to hire people who are already in the country on a visa, as it's unfair to make their risk of being kicked out of the country worse. And they should be allowed to renew existing visa workers
> ...I think the major thing stopping people from just going their own way is healthcare coverage...

i agree. Tying healthcare to employment limits things in several ways. What if, instead of starting my own business, i wanted to work 2 different part time jobs for 2 different employers? Maybe 1 of them is a rather low-paying job at a non-profit, and another is some tech-related job...well, even if enough of my poay is covered between both jobs, what would i do about healthcare? Yes, i know about the Affordable Care Act, but its been watered down by the powers that be who don't care about proper healthcare for everyone, etc. I think if the ACA in its original form were to have been launched, maybe it would have set us on a better trajectory - at least for more universal coverage which isn't tied to employment...then, at that point, Americans can choose their own adventure from an employment perspective (assuming they have the proper skills for whichever career adventure they undertook) - either work for someone else (or work for several different bosses), or work for themselves.
